While I'm not following every detail of this discussion, this line caught my attention -
Ian Bicking said: > Really, if you are building user-visible standard libraries, you are > building a framework. only because Fowler recently posted something that made me think about this, where he distinguishes a "framework" as being something which employs the "inversion of control" principle, as Paste does, versus a "library" which does not: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/InversionOfControl.html . I know theres a lot of discussion over "A Framework ? Not a Framework?" lately, largely in response to the recent meme "more frameworks == BAD" that seems to be getting around these days; perhaps Fowler's distinction is helpful...I hadn't thought of it that way before. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
